Three cases of smooth muscle tumours of the small intestine. 1980

K E Menzies, and J P Coutts, and D P Edge

Three cases of rare primary smooth muscle tumours of the small intestine, two benign and one malignant, are presented. The two benign lesions produced melaena for thirty years and twelve years respectively while remaining undetected by repeated investigation; the third case presented more acutely with obstruction. All three tumours were excised curatively.
